RAPID TEST INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING ART
BY ANYA
The following instructions should be completed within one hour. At the end of the hour, you would have made an artwork. *

  1. You will need some paper and colouring pens, pencils or paint.
  2. Choose a colour and create a background – one light enough to layer another colour upon.
  3. Pick another colour and draw a circle shape. Fill this with the same colour.
  4. Repeat this with a different colour.
  5. Draw another circle, in another colour. Fill this with lots of small lines to suggest a texture.
  6. Using white, draw a line – create a flow across the piece. You might make more lines. These do not have to be
    straight.
  7. Think of another shape and repeat this process.
  8. Repeat with different shapes and colours until you have filled the page.
  9. Use white or black to outline some of the shapes.
